Sebastião Salgado

large-format, signed, titled, and dated in pencil on the reverse, 1993, printed later

This print is in generally excellent condition. A crescent-shaped crease in the lower right edge of the image, which does not appear to break the emulsion, is visible in raking light. There are also a few scattered creases in the margins. The lower margin is unevenly trimmed, and there is a 2-inch tear in the upper right margin, not affecting the image. On the reverse are 5 small cloth tape remnants at the upper edge.
